time for some cutting and chopping of the frame to make room for the new power unit along with a little doll up of the motor
This was the first cut, much more needed to make room

here is the motor mocked in place, I blocked it up after setting the motor with a backhoe (cherry picker started folding up from the weight of the new power unti)
Attachment 35740
as you can see I had no room for the mounts so more cutting would be necessary
Attachment 35741
plenty of fire wall room here
Attachment 35742
finally got all the frame clear and the mounts tacked in place
Attachment 35743
Attachment 35744
before final placement a KDP fix would be necessary
Attachment 35745
Didnt get any pics before laying the motor in its final resting place but was able to sneak a pic under motor
Attachment 35746
not much clearance but motor will have much more when it tilts back after bolting trans
Attachment 35747
notice the shoe horn used to get it in there
Attachment 35748
it was a toss up of which ac bracket to use but after seeing how much clearance I had with the HD frame I utilized the stock AC mount.

core support fab time

Great project :tu:

Thanks, just dropped the altinators off to get dodge programmed to run chevy tach, hopefully they can do it, any ideas what size pulley I should use to run correct tach speed, I can make one to work but not sure on the size.
